Re: 2012 recruits

Are we looking at the right kids if they are choosing lower level competition?

If it becomes a trend,the obvious answer is no we're not.

I don't know. From all reports Wolters was between SDSU, Augie and 1 other D-II school. Huisken seems to be a religion based decision. This kid I'm not really sure. Did he still have an offer from the Jacks? It was reported before Connor Devine (similar built) committed.

Its hard for me to make a commit on the kids decision without knowing anything about him. But I wonder why a 6;8" kid who has had a lot of of D-I looks from the sound of it committing to a D-II school before the year starts. But hey whatever.

Re: 2012 recruits

The Huisken decision to not go D-I makes sense, but I really don't get the Bauman decision. Was the offer still on the table from the Jacks? Who else offerred from D-I teams?

According to Rivals just SDSU, but from what I've read NDSU seemed interested, had talked to the Gophers as well as others. Winona is instate, and maybe there is some ties there.

Maybe he liked there offer and wanted to take it. But I just wonder why someone who is 6'8" 220 already who at the worst has had serious D-I talks commits to a D-II school before his sr. year starts.

Re: 2012 recruits

It is certainly a head scratcher of some sorts. We are constantly telling all our athletes to know what you want at the next level. To some going D1 no matter what is what's most important, to others it might be academics, staying close to home, or maybe they want to play right away. Our local D2, University of Alaska Anchorage, which is a very competitive D2, constantly benefits from former D1 kids who didn't know what they wanted going into the whole process. Some return home and others decided that what they really wanted was to play. I think too many focus on going as big as they can without realizing that can mean never playing or being replaced a year later by someone younger and better. It takes a special type of person to choose to go and maybe never play but play a role. So I think if he's happy there then good for him, the coaches will find others.

Re: 2012 recruits

My question is since Devine averaged 15.9/11.5/5.9 as a junior.....if he makes a natural progression to 19 pts/13 rebs/6.5 blocks do we risk losing him to a more high profile program?

Early signing period in basketball. He will sign in less than a month

Lots of local family connections for Devine, too.

Re: 2012 recruits

SDSU has an offer out Tanner Williams http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKX7Q_Vzf1w, This according to Peoria Irish's facebook page http://www.facebook.com/pages/Peoria...m/190771061237

Tanner Williams 6'6" SF Orion HS IL

He has an offer from Missouri State, He played for Martin Brothers Select AAU, the same AAU team as North Carolina recruit Marcus Paige played for. He is 6'6" SF. More of the athletic type than the shooting type. Does not have a Rival account. Has a 2 star Scout account with an ESPN/Scout grade of 80. From everything I've read, the biggest question mark his the competition he has played against. (He plays in 1A)

Orion is about 10 miles south of Moline IL (Quad Cities)

Here is a 10 minute highlight video of William's junior year:

Lots of athleticism displayed by the kid against weaker competition, looks to have a good inside/outside game, though a little raw, and finishes aggresively. Definitely a type of player the Jacks could use on their roster, but if Missouri State is offering I won't get my hopes up too high of landing the kid, as we'll lose recruiting battles with top tier MVC schools more times than not.

Re: 2012 recruits

Great get if we can sign him.Good jumping ability.Just a few more good recruits,and we'd be the class of the Summit,we're right there ,just one or two more good players.Losing Nate in two years will be a big blow,that's why we need good recruiting now.

I wasn't going to post anything until after Tanner visits (this weekend). Looks like the kind of athlete SDSU is in need of right now. The scoop on Tanner is that he had some injuries last season which caused him to have a so/so summer. Because of this, a few teams have cooled off on him.
